Tom told Joe about his plan to be pirates (海盗), and they decided to do it together.”可知，乔确信他母亲不想要他了，所以他决定和汤姆一起去做海盗。故选D。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Two hours later, they were on the island. They made a fire and ate some of the ham.”可知，他们在岛上生了火。故选B。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Tom felt very bad after Becky ignored (忽略) him. He walked away from the school.”可知，首先是汤姆离开了学校，即③排第一，排除CD选项；再根据“ Then he saw Joe Harper. ... They decided to be friends forever.”可知，然后是汤姆和乔决定永远做朋友，即⑤排第二，排除B选项。故选A。 56题详解】 推理判断题。根据“He woke Huckleberry and Joe, and soon they were swimming in the shallow (浅的) water of a sand bar (沙洲).

It can run faster than most animals and it can hunt other beasts. It is said that the lion is the highest animal in the land food chain (食物链). In the sea, people say the shark is at the top of the food chain. It can swim faster than most of other sea animals. It can also catch other sea animals and eat them. What is at the top of the world’s food chain? Human beings! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest. We could not run faster than most animals, so we invented (发明) cars. We could not fight better than a lion, so we invented guns (枪). Now we can hunt the beasts. People’s inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous, too. For example, people used guns to kill a lot of wild wolves. The wild wolves usually eat sheep. But in recent (近来) years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming larger and larger because the number of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller. The wild rabbits competed for the grass with the sheep and the cows. Much of the grassland became desert because the rabbits ate the grass. Remember that we are a part of the food chain, so we are in danger, too! If we love animals, we are loving ourselves. 57. Which is at the top of the food chain in the sea? A. The dolphin. B. The shark. C. Sea animals. D. The lion. 58. Why are people at the top of the world’s food chain? A. Because they can use guns. B. Because they are the biggest. C. Because they are the cleverest. D. Because they can drive cars. 59. What does the underlined word “competed for” mean? A. looked for B. hunted for C. cared for D. fought for 60. What does the writer want to tell us in the text? A. To protect the food chain is to protect ourselves. B. The lion is the highest animal in the land food chain. C. People’s inventions can’t destroy (毁坏) the food chain. D. The number of wild rabbits is getting smaller for people’s inventions. 【答案】57. B 58. C 59. D 60. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了人类在食物链顶端的地位及其发明对生态系统的影响，强调保护动物和环境的重要性。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据“ In the sea, people say the shark is at the top of the food chain. It can swim faster than most of other sea animals.”可知，在海洋中，鲨鱼处于食物链的顶端。故选B。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据“What is at the top of the world’s food chain? Human beings! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest.”可知，人类是世界食物链的顶端，是因为他们是最聪明的。故选C。 【59题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“The wild rabbits competed for the grass with the sheep and the cows.”可知，野兔与羊和牛争夺草地。“competed for”表示“争夺”，与fought for同义。故选D。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Remember that we are a part of the food chain, so we are in danger, too! If we love animals, we are loving ourselves.”可知，人类是食物链的一部分，因此保护食物链实际上是在保护我们自己。故选A。 第二节: 阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项, 有一项多余.

D We sometimes say the lion is “the king of the forest” because it is stronger and more dangerous than other animals. It can run faster than most animals and it can hunt other beasts. It is said that the lion is the highest animal in the land food chain (食物链). In the sea, people say the shark is at the top of the food chain. It can swim faster than most of other sea animals. It can also catch other sea animals and eat them. What is at the top of the world’s food chain? Human beings! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest. We could not run faster than most animals, so we invented (发明) cars. We could not fight better than a lion, so we invented guns (枪). Now we can hunt the beasts. People’s inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous, too. For example, people used guns to kill a lot of wild wolves. The wild wolves usually eat sheep. But in recent (近来) years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming larger and larger because the number of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller. The wild rabbits competed for the grass with the sheep and the cows. Much of the grassland became desert because the rabbits ate the grass. Remember that we are a part of the food chain, so we are in danger, too! If we love animals, we are loving ourselves. 57. Which is at the top of the food chain in the sea? A. The dolphin. B. The shark. C. Sea animals. D. The lion. 58. Why are people at the top of the world’s food chain? A. Because they can use guns. B. Because they are the biggest. C. Because they are the cleverest. D.
